Two rival families, noble pride, envy, revenge, and a fatal passion: Romeo and Juliet is a story that has it all. Often set to music, but never as compelling as by Prokofiev. Highlights of his ballet music (including the iconic Dance of the Knights, the moonlit balcony scene, and the guttural conclusion) are preceded by Rachmaninov's Paganini rhapsody. Irresistible.
